Model Forum / General / Models / February 2009Anyone have horse drawn Breda kit?
wondering the kit has the horse as posed in the cover art. Usually horses are offered in a static resting pose.... thx - Craig http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LNWHJ3&P=G > wondering the kit has the horse as posed in the cover art.

You want to lead a horse, you have to look where you want to go. The horse won't follow a person who doesn't seem to know where he's headed. ;) Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. >> wondering the kit has the horse as posed in the cover art.

"You Can Lead A Horse To Water, And You Can Make Him Drink. You Shove His Head Under Water, And Suck Out His a.s" I wish I could show you the picture of the horse, and senior NCO's on the poster ! Actually, he brought back a few posters, some of which are unprintable here., But very funny.

Usually > horses are offered in a static resting pose.... > > thx - Craig > > http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LNWHJ3&P=G Hi there. Here's a reply that is on topic. VBG Thre is no horse in the Horse-Drawn Breda kit. It is a mule. On top of that the two front legs are not splayed the way they are illustrated on the box art the are oriented rearward not frontward. Also, there is a huge hole in the mule's back that is at least 2/3 of the side and back of the mule. Ths hole is covered by the pack frame. The figure trying to lead the mule is one piece with the two arms already attached to the body. Both figure's heads are molded on the bodies which are one piece. There are separate packs for ech figure but bayonets etc. aare molded onthe figures and are not seaparate items. You do get two Carcano rifles that are separate items. I bought my set for the 20mm Breda to put on the back of a Tamiya LRDG truck. I was *EXTREMELY* disappointed in the pose and construction of the mule as it was so much different from what was shown on the box art. Cheers from Peter >> wondering the kit has the horse as posed in the cover art. Usually >> horses are offered in a static resting pose....

It doesn't surprise me that the kit contains a mule but doesn't the box art does look very much more like a pack horse than a pack mule?

The box art might look like a horse but the one I bought and opened and based my reply on definitely has a mule in it right down to the mane and long ears. The mule would have been welcome had it been posed as it was in the box art and if it did not have that huge gap in its back where the pack goes. Fortunately I had bought the kit for the 20 mm Breda gun and not for the mule or figures. I did not know that Italeri would mould a figure in one piece with both arms attached. I thought such mouldings were a thing of the distant past. At least the gun looks good. Cheers from Peter : It doesn't surprise me that the kit contains a mule but doesn't the box art : does look very much more like a pack horse than a pack mule? I had it pegged as an a.s. :-) Bruce Signature------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I like bad!"

Look at the third sprue in the second link and you'll see that the front legs are oriented rearwards and not frontwards like they are on the box art. Cheers from Peter Yep, see what you mean.
